Silver was piled up on the table, and some people put their jade pendants on top. A young man who had just started out but was so lucky naturally attracted attention. Soon, the place was filled with people watching the excitement.

"big."

"open--"

"Please choose, sir."

"Small."

"Come again."

"open--"

"Come again."

"open--"

"Come again."

"open--"

In front of He Yan, there were piles of banknotes. The people who had just laughed at her were now silent. Even a fool could see that she was not a novice who came to play for the first time. If it weren't for the reputation of Le Tong Manor, others would have suspected that she had teamed up with the manor to deceive outsiders.

The sound of night watchmen could be heard faintly from outside. He Yan said, "It's getting late. I should go back."

"Sir," the bearded old man smiled, "Let's play one last round. How about changing the bet?"

He Yan looked up at him: "How do you bet?"

"Let's not bet on big or small. I think you are an expert. How about guessing the number on the dice?" He pushed all the jewelry and banknotes on the table to the middle of the table. "If you win, these are all yours."

He Yan looked at the banknotes on the table.

She had already won a lot, and she knew that this would attract other people's attention. When she was in the army, she had heard the young generals talk about the shady dealings of the casino, and she knew a thing or two about it. She should have stopped while she was ahead, but somehow, she thought of He Yunsheng's longing eyes when he talked about the academy, and the only long gown she was wearing, which was washed out.

"Okay," she said.

The crowd roared, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Guessing the size and guessing the number are two completely different things.

Guessing the size depends on luck, and there are only two possible outcomes, big or small. But the numbers must be accurate to every digit, and if you are wrong, you are wrong, and the chance of winning is too small. Unless you are a real dice thrower, you probably won't do this. Moreover, the dealer's methods are different.

He Yan also pushed away all the banknotes in front of him.

If she loses this time, all the lunches tonight will be for nothing. If she wins, the food and drink for the He family and He Yunsheng's tuition will be enough for the next three to five years.

Seeing this, everyone added: "I'll come too!"

"Here's my money, I'm betting on this brother to win!"

"How is that possible? I'd better bet on the opponent, hahahaha!"

The higher the stakes, the more people come to watch. The drama of getting rich overnight and becoming poor overnight is more addictive than the best opera troupe in the capital.

The bearded old man slowly picked up the bowl. The casino fell silent. It seemed that the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the dice colliding in the copper bowl.

He Yan was slightly distracted.

Her gambling skills were really terrible. At least before she returned to the capital, before she married into the Xu family, she was still as bad as ever. Shortly after her wedding, she played cards with other ladies at various banquets as Xu's grandmother, and she lost badly every time. At that time, Xu Zhiheng always laughed and said, "You, why are you so stupid?"

That was a rare moment when he showed shyness towards her. She thought she had captured the tenderness and intimacy of this handsome man. She was very happy and secretly resolved to learn the skills well and make Xu Zhiheng proud at the next banquet.

Unfortunately, before she could learn the leaf cards seriously, she became blind.

Whether it was a family dinner or a banquet outside, the Xu family would never let a blind person represent the mistress of the main house. She stopped going out, but the house was really boring and stuffy. She couldn't see, so she could only learn to listen to the sounds.

She wanted to be a blind person who could move freely, without the need for help even if she couldn't see. She was always strong-willed, so she started practicing again. First, she listened to the sounds and learned to identify the shapes by hearing them, then she slowly started to move. When she was almost able to move, she could use the branches in the mansion as swords and practice secretly.

That was when she learned to listen to the sound of the dice.

He Yan thought that dice were much simpler than leaf cards. The more delicate something was, the more it tested her hearing. She listened to the slight differences on each side of the dice. She shook the dice in the bamboo tube and poured it on the table. She silently recited the numbers in her mind and then rubbed them with her fingers. She always made mistakes at first. Once, after she finished reciting silently and touched the dice, she finally smiled.

She succeeded.

The servants of the Xu family secretly talked about her, saying that the grandmother went crazy after she became blind, and she would swing a bamboo tube in the house all day long. But they gradually discovered that He Yan could have food, clothing, shelter and transportation even without help. She could accurately identify each servant of the Xu family by voice and knew the location of each utensil.

If we didn't know that she really couldn't see, she would be no different from a normal person.

Xu Zhiheng praised her for being amazing, held her hand and praised her. He Yan was very happy, but also felt a little disappointed. She didn't know what she was missing, but she always felt that maybe it shouldn't be like this.

Now that she thinks about it, her hearing had been trained to perfection by that time, and she probably heard the coldness and perfunctoriness in Xu Zhiheng's tone when he spoke to her, but her emotions made her subconsciously avoid this thought.

He Yan lowered his eyes. In the end... the authorities were confused.

The sound of the dice stopped abruptly, and with a "bang", the bowl fell upside down on the table.

One, two, both dice landed.

Everyone looked at He Yan. He Yan closed her eyes, as if she had returned to the days at Xu's house, where she sat at the table, shaking the dice alone, uncovering the dice alone, and stroking each side of the dice with her hands alone.

Trying to grasp that little bit of light in the darkness.

"2, 5." She opened her eyes and said.

The upside-down bowl and chopsticks were uncovered, and the two dice fell naked in front of everyone.

It was quiet at first, and after a while, someone exclaimed softly, and then, exclamations came one after another. The young man in fine clothes who was closest to He Yan grabbed He Yan's arm and shouted, "Master, from today on, you are my master! Please accept my disciple's greetings!"

He Yan helplessly pulled away the hand that was grabbing his arm.

The old man with a long beard smiled a little stiffly, but after a moment, he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Sir, you have great skills. All this money is yours." After a pause, he said: "Excuse me, sir, would you please have a cup of tea with me before you leave?"

He Yan put all the banknotes and jewelry into his arms and declined politely: "You are just an unknown boy, not worth mentioning. It's too late today, as for tea, let's drink it another day." After saying that, he walked past the crowd and walked out of Le Tong Manor very quickly.

The people in the casino continued to marvel at the gambling game, and the old man with a long beard kept smiling and walked upstairs. Someone bowed his head in front of him, and he said, "Follow him!"

On the other side, the big man with a gloomy face pressed his fingers, waved to the servants behind him, and followed him out of Letong Manor.

"You won my money and you want to run away? There is no such a cheap thing in the world, idiot!"
